Bec was truly a lifesaver. Our 5month old went from 3/4 night wakings, co-sleeping and sparse 20 minute cat naps through the day to one feed a night and reliable, long naps through the day.

After one week we had our boy (who was previously in the bassinet in our room) in his new cot in his own room and without a swaddle. And there was no cry out method used or required.

While it used to take half an hour to get him down, we only have to read him a story and pop him down and he falls asleep straight away.

What a sense of relief she gave us! Best money we’ve spent on our Bub so far.

Thank you Bec!

Before working with Bec, my 10 month old was waking multiple times a night (from 5-8). My partner and I had not slept in the same bed this whole time, we’re doing shifts of a night with him, my son was continually unwell and unable to shake sickness and we were absolutely exhausted and at a loss of what to do. We’d tried working with other sleep consultants, who just gave us a plan and a one size fits all routine- which did not work for our son.

Bec tailored a unique approach to sleep changes specifically for our boy and in just a week he was sleeping through the night. We also night weaned him- which he was so ready for!

Having her constant support was essential for me- she was there for me every day to chat through my challenges, celebrate my wins and to help me stay on course with any curve ball he threw our way!

Now my partner and I are back in the same bed, have a comfortable morning routine and are continually gaining confidence with our parenting. Our son is well rested and healthier than ever. I highly recommend working with Bec- as she has helped truely change our lives! X

Bec was an absolute lifesaver for us!

Seemingly without reason, our 5 month old son fell out of a well known sleep routine and began refusing bottles, waking up 4 times a night and would no longer self-settle - we were all exhausted. At our wit’s end, and with my anxiety as a first time mum at an all time high, a friend highly recommended Bec following her own experience.

We met with Bec via Zoom and went through her process where she gave us a personalised plan to help our son self-settle and sleep through the night.

Bec was patient, understanding and took the time to answer our questions and concerns. With the strategies and guidance provided, our boy has been hitting growth goals, and sleeping through the night for three months and we’re all so much better for it.

I highly recommend Bec to anyone who is struggling with their baby's sleep and routine. She is a wealth of knowledge and experience. Beyond that, she is also incredibly compassionate and supportive. If you're looking for help getting your baby to sleep, we can’t recommend Bec highly enough!

We have used Bec for both our kids and couldn't recommend her high enough. She found the right approach for each little personality and us while showering us with encouragement and support. Her 2 week sleep program changed our lives with each child and I called her as our first grew up and dropped nap to a quick check in; I'll be doing the same with our 2nd as she grows. I give Becs contact details and website to anyone who mentions they struggle with their little one sleeping, she is amazing!

We cannot speak more highly of Bec and her amazing work and practice as she has truly changed our lives for the better. Through continuous support and guidance, ensuring the upmost respect and care for your individual values and family dynamic she is able to provide the advice, routine and information required to make sleep and therefore an overall improvement in wellbeing a reality for you and your little one. The relentless tiredness and exhaustion that dominated our day to day has been lifted thanks to Bec. Her daily calls and overall positive spirit truly helped us to get through, we would give her a bazillion stars if we could. Thank you Bec

Bec at the Sleep Centre is amazing! She quickly helped get our 7 month old baby sleeping (& therefore us!) through the night! He was previously waking a multitude of times throughout the night, feeding and crying. Bec takes a holistic and thorough approach, taking the time to assess what's going on with baby's sleeping, settling, milk and solids feeds throughout the full 24 hour period, and then creates a tailored solution which she guides you through implementing. She provides ongoing support for 2 weeks via daily chats and text support, ensuring new habits are solidified. Bec is professional but also a lovely caring person who's passionate about helping families. THANK YOU BEC!

Bec has changed our life! If ever there was a sleep challenge, it was us. Not only was my toddler waking 387 times a night, breastfeeding constantly and running his own sleep show, we are also travelling and living full time in our caravan.with our kids in bunk beds! Bec tailored a gentle approach that our whole family was comfortable with and within days (YES, DAYS!) Jacks sleep was improving. Small gentle changes that had the biggest impact. We now have a toddler who asks to go to bed right on time and this mama has got some of her "me time" back. I never thought we would get to where we are today with Jacks sleep and it is all thanks to Bec. You are a magical sleep unicorn and I cant recommend you enough! Thank you for working with our family and making the process stress free. We will forever be thankful that you came into our lives.

Bec from the sleep center was our absolute last resort after 5months of living on roughly 5hrs sleep a day (on a good day?). We were at the point where we were physically and mentally exhausted, having to hold bub and lunge ourselves across the room for 15mins or continuously tapping his bottom to get him to sleep, with him then waking almost immediately when we tried to transfer him to the cot. Our other alternative was feeding to sleep which was also exhausting, time consuming and often resulted in another unsuccessful transfer.
Bec was really down to earth and easy to talk to, she explained everything so well and provided a comprehensive guide to refer back to with our bubs 'plan', as well as other useful information on sleep and settling.
I was very apprehensive about anything being a success as I felt like we had exhausted all avenues and messaged Bec on the first afternoon advising her how anxious I was. She was super supportive and encouraging which gave me the nudge I needed to follow through with our plan.
Bub self settled from the first night and went on to sleep a 7hr consecutive stretch.
I used to spend an hour and a half of the evening feeding to sleep to make sure bub was out cold enough for a successful transfer, now I pop him into bed and he has himself asleep within 10mins max while I get to finally wind down myself and spend some relaxing time with my partner that I thought we were never going to get back.
We saw progress and had wins every day of the program with both day sleeps and night sleeps, which has completely revolutionized the way my day flows and has taken the exhaustion and anxiety out of my days.
Any hiccups were address by a daily call/text with Bec and suggestions were offered to help troubleshoot.
I cannot recommend Bec highly enough and feel comforted knowing I can reach out to her again with any sleep problems down the road, truly the best money we have ever spent.

Bec was such a wonderful help for us. I was reluctant to do sleep training and she provided us with multiple different options for our 10 month old that we could choose from. The best part was that we had regular morning check-ins for two weeks so we could discuss progress and tweak anything that we needed to. She was also available for troubleshooting during the day if naps went wrong etc. Our girl has been sleeping through the night for the past week and we don’t know ourselves! Our daughter is also better rested and happier. Before Bec she was waking 2-3 times overnight and feeding at least once! Bec is kind, empathetic, consistent and supportive. Highly recommend her and only wish we’d done this sooner!

Bec is honestly amazing, this is the second time round we have used Bec as our sleep consultant. Both our babies are now excellent sleepers and we only have Bec to thank for this!

From the initial consultation to the final review, Bec gives you confidence and support that is critical for any parent doing sleep training.

I have recommended Bec to all my mothers group and friends, she is just wonderful and would say that it is the best money we have ever spent. Nothing better than a full nights sleep for a baby and their parents! Thanks Bec

Can I give 6 stars? ! Bec has dramatically changed our lives and saved me from absolute exhaustion, overwhelm and even slight depression! I tried for over 2 months to sleep train my little one after the 4 month sleep regression but things seemed to get worse.
From the very first phone call with Bec, I felt assured that she could help. Her confidence, compassion and humour had me crying with relief!
I looked forward to the calls every morning and when I thought I'd had a hard night, it was usually something Bec expected and was actually progress - she always explained why. It all made sense, I learnt so much and Bec instilled so much confidence in me to help my little man get the sleep he needed.
On top of that, Bec also gave tips on how to help with our 2.5yr olds early waking. Sure enough, after a few days impelementing her strategies he started sleeping til up to an hour later!
Bec is extremely experienced, reasonable, knowledgable, friendly, funny and so supportive!
My only regret is not getting her help sooner!
Thanks so much Bec! You're incredible x

Bec is absolutely amazing! Our 9 month old would only sleep for 40 minute stretches in her cot at night. I felt like I had tried everything and she would still end up in our bed most of the night, feeding whenever she wanted! We had friends who had used Bec and she came highly recommended. I wish we had contacted her so much sooner.
She evaluated what we were doing and suggested some changes to our day routine and settling techniques. By night 3 (!) our daughter was so much easier to settle and was sleeping 3-4 hour stretches in her own room!
She now sleeps through the night! There is no rocking or patting. No screaming. No crying (from her or me!) We have our evenings back to ourselves! We actually wake up in the mornings and feel like humans again!
I confidently tell our daughter every night "see you in the morning" and don't die a little inside knowing I will actually see her every 40 minutes until the sun comes up.
I don't know what magical powers Bec has, but I am so glad she decided to use them for good and not evil!

Bec truly saved our lives! The initial consult was very thorough. Our 2 year old was still sleeping in our bed, requiring a lot of assistance and a bottle to get to sleep but within the first three days following Bec’s advice, was sleeping in her cot in her own room & self settling. Can’t believe how fast Bec’s method worked and am super grateful for all the advice and follow ups daily. A sleep consultant that truly cares!

Bec comes highly recommended and its obvious why. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident to tackle day to day adjustments and sleep training. Bec is professional and easy to talk to. Even when you feel like you've failed she is the first to tell you actually how much progress you've made. Bec works with what your goals are and what you're comfortable with and without any judgement. It was a game changer for us. I am so appreciative of what Bec has done for our family.

Bec is absolutely amazing! I have heard about her months before we consulted with her but I wish we have done it sooner. She gave us a structured way on how to approach things but she made it in a tailored fit way that works and applies for us. So she still individualizes and considers the current situation. She was very patient and understanding as our little tod was having viral illness back and forth. I 100% recommend Bec for anyone wanting and extra guidance for bub’s sleep needs.

Bec is incredible, I can’t recommend her highly enough. Our 9 month old had been waking hourly for months. With Bec’s methodical approach and daily support our whole family now sleeps through the night and we couldn’t be happier! I only wish I’d called her sooner!

My gosh I cannot recommend Bec enough!?
I was at breaking point when I reached out to Bec with our 10 month old little boy not sleeping.
I was having to feed him to sleep every time & when I would transfer into the cot he would wake and scream - sometimes taking me 2hrs to get him down. He would wake every 2hrs overnight & I’d have to start the cycle again. His naps during the day were only 40 mins & everyone in our household was exhausted!
Bec made me feel really heard & was so caring & understanding with what we wanted.
After only 3 days of our new routine our little boy was sleeping through the night! And his naps were 100x better!
Bec is a bloody lifesaver & honestly I cannot praise her enough!
Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so excited to write this review. My 13month old son stopped breastfeeding and our co-sleeping situation went to chaos. He would wake 5-6times a night and sometimes had up to 4 bottles to resettle back to sleep through the night. Other times, he would wake and not go back to sleep for hours. I couldn’t cook dinner or relax and watch tv because he would wake and need to be resettled. I was a nervous wreck and struggling to be the best mum I could because I was exhausted. After getting in touch with Bec, we changed a few things about the day schedule and how he fell to sleep and on day 4 he slept through the night! It’s been a few weeks since working with Bec and some nights my son sleeps through and other nights he wakes briefly but is able to fall back to sleep in his cot in a few minutes. Both myself and my son are enjoying the extra sleep and my life is no longer dictated by sleep. This was the best decision I made for my family and Bec’s knowledge on sleep was amazing!

Bec is amazing and I would highly recommended her to anyone. Not only is she a lovely person but she knows her stuff when it comes to sleep and takes the time to understand and know your family and then creates an individual approach suited to your family. I call her the modern day Mary Poppins. It’s like she sprinkled some magic dust on my baby.

I had a 7 and half month old who was waking at least 8 times over night - sleeping anywhere between 20min to 2 hour stints. He could only be put back to sleep if I fed him, rocked or patted him. It got that exhausting I would end up bringing him into my bed just so we could all get a bit more sleep. His day naps were all over the place and again would have to be fed to sleep.
I now have a little baby that puts himself to sleep in his own room and cot and sleeps from 7 till 7. With no wakings. The first night we saw massive improvements even with him sleeping 6 hours straight before waking.

My husband and I now feel a lot more confident plus we have a load of tricks and ideas and resources to fall back on if things start to get a bit tricky again. Plus we have loads more energy during the day with full night sleeps!

Thanks heaps Bec

Bec was our saviour! Very grateful for her support & guidance. We were at a loss with our 13 month old waking up to 6 times some evenings and needing to be fed back to sleep, wondering if a full nights rest was ever going to happen again.
Bec was a pleasure to communicate with and gave me the confidence & guidance I was needing to set us all up for better evenings. After the first week my little one was self-settling and sleeping through. On top of that much happier & with a better appetite for solids.
I could not recommend Bec more!
